About our bath re-enamelling in Mawdlam

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Repairing versus replacing in Mawdlam

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Mawdlam

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Mawdlam contact us are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included

Questions from Mawdlam

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Bridgend, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Mawdlam?
